Adrian Majuru - Emotional Geographies (BB3 parallel event)

Thursday November 22nd 2007, 11:06 pm
Filed under: None

November 21, 2007, 18.30 h.
EMOTIONAL GEOGRAPHIES - URBAN MYTHS
Lecture by Adrian Majuru

National Center for Dance, Bucharest
Bd. Nicolae Balcescu, nr. 2 (TNB, 4th Floor, Ronda Hall)

History also maps apparently imperceptible dimensions. These are difficult to detect, deviate and calatogue, since they easily traverse different historical periods, however, once they have penetrated the imperceptible, answers to secular questions may be unveiled. How come we often forget where we started from? How come doing good has a negative connotation? How come “the asses never forigive one of their kind for having risen above media”? (Stefan Zeletin, “From the land of asses”). The emotional geographies are cartogaphies, whose historical fluctuation traverses many epochs and social hierarchies. They are the most sensitive sensors, through which nature strives for or forces an adaptation in a history of its own!
The lecture of Adrian Majuru deals with an emotional cartography of Bucharest, which in a way anticipates the theme of next year’s BUCHAREST BIENNALE 3: “Being here. Mapping the Contemporary” curated by Jan-Erik Lundstrom si Johan Sjostrom.

Adrian Majuru (born 1968, Bucharest) coordinates Folk Art Museum “Dr. Nicolae Minovici” and is one of the initiators behind the founding of the Museum of Urban Anthropology. He is the author of several publications, such as Bucharest of the outskirts or the periphery as a mode of existence (Compania 2003) and Childhood according to romanians (Compania, 2006).

Pavilion & BB3: Temporary Structures (at Stockholm)

Monday November 05th 2007, 3:13 am
Filed under: None

Bucharest Biennale - Bucharest International Biennial for Contemporary Art - generated by Pavilion, integrates the city in its curatorial project, proposing both a spatial and temporal, itinerant trajectory to the visitor, which leads to the discovery of hidden geographies.
Despite being in a rather introductory stage, the Bucharest Biennale has already positioned itself internationally, and the third edition is expected to express the growing potential of this type of artistic encounter. BB3 questions cartography and proposes a remapping of contemporary art, in extending the art concept towards discursive manifestations with a sociopolitical impact.

Between 23-28 October 2007, at the invitation of Romanian Cultural Institute in Stockholm, we visited several spaces in Stockholm and Goteborg and we lectured about BB3 and Pavilion.

THE PROGRAM:

24 October 2007
ICR Stockholm, Skeppsbron 20, Stockholm

18.00 h
The Magazine as a Temporary Structure
A lecture by Eugen Radescu (RO) on the structure of Pavilion – contemporary art & culture magazine.
The magazine is a structure, which is mainly located in the present, although it sometimes deals with the recent past and is often used as a source of reference for the future – in the future as a reference to the past - and it sometimes presents clairvoyant visions of the future. The mission of a magazine for contemporary art and culture is to analyze the present and to make a statement about what this present could be – the decision of “which present” to display comes with certain responsibility.
It is no longer possible to make a clear distinction between politics and art/aesthetics. Therefore, it could be viewed as one of the main missions of a contemporary magazine to have a clear vision of the present and to make an analysis of the strategies of representation by means of aesthetics, ethics and politics. This undertaking can only be successful, if the magazine maintains its temporary structure.

19.00h
BB3. Being Here. Mapping the Contemporary
Live talk on the topic of Bucharest Biennale 3.
Participants: Maria Lantz (SE), Jan-Erik Lundstrom (SE), Razvan Ion (RO), Eugen Radescu (RO).
Mapping is, in fact, not a mimetic exercise, a process of analogue imitation by way of reduction and abstraction, a means towards the splendid and refractory lives of copies and reproductions. Maps are, rather, parallel worlds, rich and powerful out of their own specific properties, producers of other spaces and alternative geographies. And exactly because of this: resourceful and productive and beautiful instrumentalities for the contemporary moment, for navigation ‐ or withdrawal? In these strange times, in the midst of the landscapes of terror, fear and loss, of the territories of restricted movement, control and surveillance, of borders which are walls, of globalization with its promises and defeats.
Curated by Jan-Erik Lundstrom & Johan Sjostrom, BB3 (23 May – 21 June 2008) attends to the geographical turn in contemporary creativity and current representational practices.
Bucharest Biennale is proudly supported by Pilsner Urquell.

Launch of the latest issue of PAVILION “What Was Socialism, and What Comes Next”.
Open buffet.

25 October 2007, 12.30 PM
Galleri Mejan, Flaggmansvägen 1, Skeppsholmen, Stockholm (in front of Moderna Museet)

Kite flying with local people - Bucharest Biennale 3 - parallel event

Friday August 03rd 2007, 3:03 am
Filed under: None

BUCHAREST BIENNALE 3 (parallel event)
proudly sponsored by Pilsner Urquell

YOSHINORI NIWA

07.August.2007

11.00 hours | Bucuresti, Piata Universitatii (in front of National Theatre)
“Kite flying with local people”
Making a flying kite with trash of Bucharest, he will try to fly the kite in Bucharest.

12.30 hours | Bucuresti, Centrul National al Dansului (TNB floor 3/4)
“Kites, Catrina, Chickens and more”
Artist talk of Yoshinori Niwa

In Japan, for the cellebration of the New Year in early january, people traditionally fly kites. Usually made out of paper, taking mythical forms such as Octopus, Demon, Animals, etc. The project in Bucharest is to fly kites made out of garbage collected from the streets of the city, i.e. plastic bags and/or cardboards. This action-art project is a way to collaborate with the people from Bucharest for the making of the kites, and in parallel it constitutes a communicating mixture of Japanese and Romanian culture. Local and global categories are under the scrutiny through this aesthetic action. Trash is part of the culture of any city, and in the garbage one may find the vestiges of international corporations, such as fast food chains, mixed with packaging from local producers. The kite will mix them reconstituting the microcosmos of Bucharest. This kite will be the material expression of commodity distribution system, a witness of contemporary global capitalism, and a commentary on the consumer society in Bucharest. The flying kite is untouchable, but it touches us and will make us rethink our socio-political context. The experience of collectively working on a kite with local people may remain in the memory of Bucharest cityscape.

Yoshinori Niwa is a physical performance artist who often incorporates animals, plants, and the environment into his work. Niwa’s aim is to explore how to live with others, especially those of other cultures and social classes. Niwa has performed works in Britain, Canada, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Montenegro, Poland, Serbia, and Slovakia. In addition to his performance work, Niwa is curator and festival organizer. Niwa is currently coordinating an international art festival titled “Artist as Activist” in Tokyo. www.niwa-staff.org

Exhibition / Travelling Video Installation
DIS-ECONOMY OF LIFE
Migratory Aesthetics, Travelling Concepts & Organization of Economic Life

CINEMA SUITCASE / Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Artists: Mieke Bal, Zen Marie, Thomas Sykora, Gary Ward and Michelle Williams
Curator: Marko Stamenkovic, art-e-conomy / Belgrade, Serbia

June 21 – 25, 2007
Desant, 123 Ion Mihalache Bd., Bucharest, Romania

Opening: Tuesday, June 21, 19.00 / Followed by Public Debate, 20.00

Participants: Andreea Grecu (economist), Eugen Radescu (politologist), Razvan Ion (editor of Pavilion), Alex Balasescu (antropologist), Cristian Crisbasan (journalist), Catalin Avramescu (political analist).
Moderator: Marko Stamenkovic (curator).

After party: Frame Club, Bd. Magheru nr. 38b, 22.00

The concept of dis-economy of life is meant to suggest the tight connections between the various areas in which the economic, in the sense of organization of life, affects people: public space, private life, individual mental well-being. In all these domains, a form of dis-economy occurs at the present time. As a result, people float in uncertainty, at the same time economically connected to and yet, disconnected from one another. The proposed series of films present these domains, by means of visual description, narrative, encounters, and reflexivity

Cinema Suitcase is an international group of filmmakers pursuing projects of experimental social documentary. The group consists of: Mieke Bal, Zen Marie, Thomas Sykora, Gary Ward, and Michelle Williams. Coming from a diversity of fields in the visual arts, they seek to facilitate the self-narration of their subjects, always encountered on the basis of a great intimacy, rather than constructing their stories for them. This approach enhances the performative quality of filmmaking as a collective process. The travelling media exhibition brings together three separate yet complementary work-segments (video installation Nothing is Missing; Colony; Mille et un jours & Access Denied).

THE BRUNCH

Tuesday, June 27, 12.00 a.m.
CAA, Bucharest, Str. General Budisteanu 19 (in the courtyard of Faculty of Art).

“The Brunch” at CAA (Center for Art Analyze/Contemporary Art Archive).
Debates moderated by Lia & Dan Perjovschi.

A democratic choice of the topic will be performed to conclude the last day of BB2.

WHAT IS “THE BRUNCH”

“The Brunch” is an ongoing project realized by CAA and PAVILION magazine after an idea by Lia Perjovschi.
“The Brunch” is a platform of debates and analyzes of the Romanian and international art scene and the social-political context.
These events will explore on a theoretical level the role of art, discussing the possible social and political missions of artistic practice.
We would like to encourage communication, consultation - perhaps collaboration - alongside facilitating the reciprocation of knowledge and understanding between the artists and theoreticians involved.

ORGANIZERS

Lia Perjovschi’s CAA (Contemporary Art Archive/Centre for Art Analysis) is a project active under different names and in different shapes since 1988. CAA was a voice activated installation, a place for debate and criticism; it served as a point for local and international artists and curators to meet and exchange opinions and transformed itself and its mission according to the changes in the political and cultural context.

PAVILION is an art and culture magazine that name alludes to the relative temporary structure of the contemporary art.
The magazine is presenting wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary content in each issue through the varied formats of regular column, essays, interviews, and artist projects.
PAVILION does not only want to describe contemporary phenomenon but with its militant attitude it tries to directly intervene in cultural, political and social life.
Editors and founders: Razvan Ion & Eugen Radescu
